Donkey Test

I don’t have anything interesting to write about today. No news. No nothing. Plus it’s a Friday. Most of the time I don’t agree with the mantra that Friday’s are for relaxing and fun, but today I agree.

The Donkey Test was posted on Pokerdog a few days ago but I didn’t have time to take it. I got through five questions before I scrolled down and realized it was 52 questions long. Needless to say I hurriedly clicked the back button and attended to more pressing matters.

Today I read Poker Penguin’s post on the Donkey Test and decided right then and there that I would take the test no matter what. I was not curious about whether I was a donkey or not. I already knew that I wasn’t. I didn’t need to take a mind numbing test to confirm that I was a poker genius. My main reason for taking the test was to gain bragging rights over my fellow poker bloggers at Pokerdog and Poker Penguin.

Before I reveal my score, I want to say that the Donkey Test is a poor evaluator of poker skill, and should not be taken seriously. After taking the test, it became clear to me that I would be ranked as a poker genius if I chose only the aggressive answers. The problem for a poker genius like me is that I tend to out think my opponent, and end up choosing fold for half the answers.

Anyway I scored a 96. I’m proud to say that I got the worse score.

For those that are unfamiliar with my dry humor, I wrote this post in jest. Although I wouldn’t take the results of the Donkey Test too seriously, it’s still a worthwhile way to spend 20-30 minutes of your day. Plus you get bragging rights amongst your friends. Everyone knows that the Donkey Test is the ultimate truth.

I encourage everyone to take the Donkey Test. Post your scores here so I can feel more depressed about my poker IQ.

    LMAO! Seriously man, it’s alright man. The test probably means jack. *snigger*

    LOL… Yes, well… Still dog has the bragging rights! The bastard. :)

    I might take the test again in a few weeks, skew my answer toward the more aggressive plays and see what I score.

    It was entertaining though.

    donny: Ha. Ha. Ha. Next time I find you at poker table, I’m going to hit runner runner quads to beat your boat. That proves that pokerIQ has nothing to do with winning poker.

    David: If you do take the test again, tell me what you score using that method. I’d be interested in seeing the results. I think I’d do better if I knew pot odds better.
